At an outdoor booth, president Ron Eberhart will be joined by sales and technical services director Terry McDonald and sales representative Don Pesavento to discuss DST’s products and services and how they can help mines with their emissions and rebuilding needs.

One of the products on show is a fully rebuilt and upgraded diesel tow tractor. The unit – which includes full repower with a modern 170HP Cummins model 4.5 low-emission diesel engine and DST dry scrubber package – is a great example of DST’s rebuilding expertise, with an attention to detail only available through a workforce possessing many decades of mining and equipment rebuilding experience.

Also on display will be an MSHA-permissible 185 HP Cummins model C8.3 diesel engine and dry scrubber package, as well as multiple graphic displays of DST’s various product lines of rebuilt and new mining equipment.

DST realizes that updating mining equipment to meet increasingly rigorous DPM standards isn’t always easy. That is why the company actively works to design and build products from its two locations, including a Chicago-area main office and manufacturing plant, where it produces a complete line of permissible and non-permissible diesel exhaust systems which reduce DPM by over 96%.

In addition, DST offers complete rebuilding of existing mining equipment, including engine and other upgrades to current standards, at its heavy equipment rebuilding facilities in southern Illinois.

“I see a strong future for the coal business as our country and other world economies begin to rise from recession, with a lot of opportunity for our industry to again demonstrate its ability to meet our energy needs,” Eberhart commented, noting that the company believes in the future of coal.
